<p>What are the important properties of interpreting a second derivative graph...this is something simple i just need to clarify. Thank you!</p>
<ul>
<li>increasing</li>
<li>decreasing
0 extremum</li>
</ul>
<p>I don't really understand your question.
Are you asking what a second derivative graph can show?
It can show the concavity of f(x) and the slope of f'(x) by finding the inflection point.</p>
<p>it shows the slope by the fact that if its concave up the slope of f'x is increasing correct?</p>
<p>for example what do the zeros of the f ''(x) graph mean? also when it is above and below the x axis what does this mean for the f(x) graph. Doesn't the concavity of the graph denote where the function is increasing and decreasing?</p>
<p>ok....double derivative...</p>
<p>when y'' > 0, y is concave up</p>
<p>when y'' < 0, y is concave down</p>
<p>when y'' = 0, y has an inflection point at that point.</p>
<p>increasing/decreasing/min/max is for y' (first deriv)</p>
<p>omg, its morro! im nervous...i should be studyin...</p>
<p>basically, you can hardly find the slope of f(x) from the f''(x) graph since f''(x) only shows the concavity</p>
<p>another Calc AB question!!!</p>
<p>Do we need to know how to evaluate inverse trig functions (eg arcsin pi/4) without a calculator?</p>
<p>I don't know... my teacher always teaches extra stuff</p>
<p>I'd like to know the answer to raindrop's question too.</p>
<p>ok, so i know we need to know the derivative and integral formulas for inverse functions... but will we actually be asked to evaluate an inverse trig fxn without a calculator??</p>
<p>for the second derivative line graph when you are determining the signs around the poi's you put the number greater and lower into the second derivative correct?</p>
